The Christmas Story narrated by Peter Thomas

[minion4567]

AND THEN....THEY FOUND THE BODY...INSIDE OF THE CHIMNEY............THE PRESENTS....SEARED BY THE FIRE....HIS LEFT INNER THIGH....EATEN BY RATS......

[Jiltedin2007]

@minion4567 Mr. Grinch was arrested and waiting for trial. Prosecutors believe that when Santa came down the Chimney, Mr. Grinch was waiting until Midnight knowing that "Kris Kringle" would come down at Midnight. So at 11:59, he started a fire burning Kringle and stealing all of his presents. When Investigators came, all that was left was a charred body eaten by Rats.

Mr. Grinch was convicted of 1st Degree Murder, and has been sentenced to Life in Prison with no possible chance of Parole.

That was nice. In looking at some commercials from the 70's he is in those. Do you know if he will be doing Monday Night Football ads like he did last year? I liked the Burger King ones.

God damn if I had this voice, I would have been the happiest man in the world.

[upyermAs]

This voice is imprinted in my mind. I have early memories of this voice narrating films I watched in elementary school. It's got this quality about it that is just so characteristic and unforgettable. Great voice!

[StormsongK]

@upyermAs Oh God, me too!  I've been looking for an environmental film that might have been narrated by him, with this beautiful 70s piano and flute music that I wish I knew the name of.

This guy did some rather scary ads in the 1980s....nobody remembers he did the CareUnit alcohol ads

thats scary shit

[CSFLChampion]

@jetsonic69 This guy's voice always scared the crap out of me. Maybe this is why...

[kinglonewolf104]

I'm not particularly religious, but this is pretty cool. The music and narration are great.

Well, I'll be in Peter's end of the woods this holiday season! Must be nice living there in the winter!

[celebrityimpressions]

I've heard his voice all my life and only until the internet was I able to put a name to it. Peter Thomas. I read his bio on the Forensic Files web site and was surprised at his age though I shouldn't have been. His voice sounds just as good as ever! If I had a list of folks I could meet, Peter Thomas would be right among the top 5.

[manyvideoinerests]

Peter sure has narrated all kinds of thigns in his career! I wonder how long he has narrated or done voice overs? I mean he's narrated stories, and of course TV shows and even some commercials.

[moproducer]

Peter is a dear friend of mine. He's been doing voice work since he was a teenager on Florida. His ability to interpret comes from growing up in the home of an articulate Presbyterian minister. He once told me that the key to narrative interpretation is having the ability to visualize what one is saying.

Listening to this, one can truly understand. God bless you, friend.

[manyvideoinerests]

Interesting! What kind of person is he? He sounds like a great guy! He's been doing voice overs for many years? Where is he living now? When I was in Florida in 1993 he was going t radio station ID for a station in the Fort Myers area.

[moproducer]

Peter is just what you'd expect from the sound of his voice; a very caring, gentle person. He's a WWII veteran of the D-Day Invasion of Normandy, and saw major combat action with the 1st Infantry Division. He still hosts trips to Normandy and is active in the 1st Infantry reunion organization. When I was going through my divorce, Peter & Stella reached out to me and provided a bond of friendship that I really needed.

God never made finer people. They live in Ft. Myers.

[manyvideoinerests]

I mailed you off the board here in your box, and my grandmother has a condo in that area.

[tall32guy]

He's been doing narration work for over 50 years. He was born in 1924 according to Wikipedia. He's well known by many people although I've never seen his face and can't seem to find a picture of him anywhere. lol

[manyvideoinerests]

Nice, what was his first major naration? He was born the same year as my grandfather, but you'd never guess he sounds that old!

[roon41]

@manyvideoinerests Peter quit CBS radio around 1964 to do narration full time..he was kind enough to send me a letter and an a publicity photo..

[frotz661]

I remember him for narrating all those Troll story tapes that we listened to on road trips as children.

[thatcomeswithfries]

Lol I can't take this seriously! Everytime I hear his voice I think Forensic Files...he should be talking about brutal murders or something rofl.

[micmac99]

@thatcomeswithfries I'm old enough to remember him doing voiceovers in the '70's for aspirin, insurance, car commercials. He was also the voice of PBS' NOVA back in the day, I believe. His voice is warm, happy yet authoritative. His voice is one of about 4 or 5 I just naturally "expect" when I hear a voiceover or narration.

[onekarpileup]

Gotta love Peters voice :) its hypnotic and relaxing

[Robinglo43]

Chris, This is a most peaceful and moving reminder of what we celebrate this Christmas season. Thanks for the beautiful gift and God bless and keep you and yours. Merry Christmas friend.
